    Default Help with possible ID please ?

    Greetings. One of my hybrid orchids blooming now has only a partial tag and I'm hoping some of you experienced orchid enthusiasts on this forum may recognize it. I understand asking you to guess what the hybrid name of an orchid may be is a horrible request but I do have a partial name on the old broken off plant label. Still on partial label is: Potinara Th
    Am aware that taxonomist's have divided up the nothogenus Potinara. Have had this orchid for about 4 years, it blooms only once a year for me, in October or November here in southwest Florida. Flowers are 3-4". Looking at these flowers and with a very partial name on label- Potinara Th - does anybody have any ideas on possible ID ? Thanks for any suggestions.

    Nina, I can not answer your question. I have two Potinara's but they do not have this much yellow in them. I hope you have some luck in getting an answer to this!

    Nevermind... It is Potinara (Rhyncattleanthe) Thi-Ti, almost certainly.

    Oh, thank you Kirk! My Potinara Burana Beauty is thriving, a great and cute compact plant, and I'm a sucker for red and yellow it seems! I'll put that one on my wish list and keep an eye out for it.

    Oh cool, thanks for that! My Burana Beauty is the 'Burana' cultivar. It often blooms 3-4 flowers per spike for me and on pretty much every growth when it's happy. Just a great little plant, grows like a weed.

    Very well done ; I looked up your suggestion on Orchidwiz, and you are indeed spot on. If its not Thi-Ti , then Thi-Ti has a douyble.
